OK since no one is saying anything I will let it out and join all of you guys in the Sith

If you want more renown but you don't want to cheat you can alter your realism settings. That means you can play in any realism level you like and still get full renown for the ships you kill. That way at least you do 'earn' the renown

To do this you have to edit the GameplaySettings.cfg file at C\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3\data\Cfg To do this go towards the end of the file where it say [Realism Settings]. There set every realism setting you're not using to zero and add more value to the ones you're using. Be careful though as all the numbers should add to 100. That way you're playing at 100% realism for the computer and you get full renown.

Now can I have my place in Sith:p

@ Mel

The knowledge you now weld with this realism hack does indeed mean that you have joined the dark side.

Never underestimate the power of the dark side, DarthMel.

Not really. There's a lot of ships that are categorized as "neutral", when in the real war, they would have been fair game. The reknown has always been off, but that was a play-balance decision.

No! You finish out your presidency and have a wife who is a senator from NY that wants to run for President in 08

The renown system doesn't bother me either, even to get torps or equipment upgrades. If you're any kind of kaleun you'll earn the renown you need. And not every kaleun could get the equipment he needed for his boat whenever he wanted it.

But, yeah, I can see where you might have to change the renown for a mistake like that. No biggie.

Default Left the editing

Hi guys,

Just to say I decided against the editing in the end. As you say, do it once and it could get tempting to do it again -

So I decided to live with the mistake and went on patrol 3 instead.

Just returned from it. Didn't take long - one large convoy and I was able to get right amongst them before firing. Left with 4 large cargo ships, a flower class, and a large tanker to my credit.

Weather was awful - huge storm, heavy rain and fast winds - visibility was down to 500-600 metres at most. At one point I was able to surface in the middle of the convoy - this helped with lining up shots etc. and was quite a succesful tactic until one of the merchants opened up with their guns!

The following morning I finished off a couple of stragglers with my last torps and then headed back to Brest.

Take a look at the following pic (link below) - On the way back I checked the map and I had contact showing for 3 subs - and one enemy DD.

http://www.picturehost.co.uk/img/c50...Other+Subs.JPG

I didn't get to see the subs, but would they have been German or Allies?

This all happened off the south coast of Ireland.

Anyway, I made over a thousand renown on this patrol, so makes up for the missing 500 I guess!
